Priceline Hotel: 2* San Diego (Downtown-Harbor Island) Comfort Inn Gaslamp

[DaveB99]

Can someone confirm for me the dummy zone I can use for rebidiing for the downtown San Diego zone.

I can ONLY stay in Downtown San Diego at a 2 star or above.

So I can rebid for a 4 star in Del Mar or Sorrento area and get rebids for downtown. I see no 4 stars in Del Mar or Sorrento.

Am I correct in this? I am scared to try this without fear or actually getting Del Mar or Sorrento. Are there resort palm tree things in these 2 areas??

Welcome to BetterBidding, DaveB99.

I'm not totally following your question.

Are you asking for a strategy for a 4* in Downtown San Diego? Or are you looking for the least expensive room in Downtown San Diego that's rated 2* or higher?

What are your travel dates? What is your budget per night?

I think I figured this out. Sorry I am a little slow :)

I want only downtown San Diego cheap as possible. 2 star is fine. So I really have no dummy zone options because all the other zones in san diego have 2 star hotels. I guess that rebid strategy only works when you are going higher star level.

I am currently waiting the 24 hour period then upping it $2 each day. I thought I could dummy zone a 2 star but you can't. My dates are 1/12 to 1/21.

My dates are 1/12 to 1/21.

would you consider splitting your bid into two or three stays since your trip is 9 days?

I guess. Sorry my stay is 1/15 to 1/21.... total of 6 nights.

How high have you bid?

Will you have a car? Even most 2* hotels in Downtown San Diego charge for parking, if that's a consideration.

I am at 52 as of right now. Got rejected at 52. I have no car. Doing a convention.

Sweet :) :) :o :) . Got Comfort Inn GasLamp for $54. Walk to my convention. I have stayed there before.. Expedia is $102.

I probably will never use the dummy zone because I am cheap now with the recession and go for 2 star hotels. Just wait the 24 hours and chip away at it a couple weeks before.....

[Colfax]

That's great, DaveB99! Almost half price for a hotel you've stayed at before and like.

We hardly see any 2* bidding in Downtown San Diego. It's good to have a fresh report that the Comfort Inn still participates in Priceline.

Please use this PRICELINE link for your future bids.

Enjoy your stay.
